This is my last "Postcard to Mum" and the last segment of the #tagroulettehannemade challenge by @hannemadebyanne The tags this month were: 21. Bullion edge (bottom of large tag) 42. Tag on a tag (merry Xmas to Mumtags) 49. Memories (large tag and background fabric from Mum's handkerchiefs) Thank you very much to @hannemadebyanne for setting up this challenge and although I went a bit off the track to most people who worked on one piece it worked for me. I can't believe Mum has been gone for twelve months now but this has certainly helped me with the grieving process and remembering good times. I am now prepping my challenge for next year! #52tagshannemade42 #52tagshannemade49 #52tagshannemade21 #52tagshannemade #sewingbyhand #memorypostcards #memories #mindfulstitching #mindfulness #slowstiching https://www.instagram.com/p/CmWkK5KMbHS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The joy of hand stitching

In January, I started doing an Instagram-based challenge, #52tagshannemade, started by Anne Brooke. Each week, she posts a video to YouTube with that week’s theme. The themes have alternated between particular stitches, such as pistil or bullion, or concepts, such as wrapping or hidden treasure.

I haven’t always kept up; sometimes the theme doesn’t resonate with me. Some themes I enjoyed so much, I completed two tags. The tags are roughly 2 inch x 3 inch, although some weeks I made larger tags to tackle more complex compositions. Below are 9 of my favorites.

Themes for the tags above, from top left. Row 1: ORT; yummy; knots; Row 2: Bits and bobs and a gift; yo-yos and lace; treasure and a pocket; Row 3: couching; cuppa; hexies.

You can see all my tags, along with other stitchery, at my Instagram feed, chrishasmeinstitches.

Week 43 of #52tagshannemade challenge by @hannemadebyanne and this week's prompt was blanket stitch with a fringe. I didn't use the reverse side of my fabric as it was too dark and I liked the leaf design. I put my row of blanket stitch on the branch of the fabric design so the slant is intentional. We have only 9 weeks of tags left in this year and I can't believe how quickly this year has gone! #52tagshannemade43 #52tagshannemadechallenge #52tagshannemade2021 #fringe #sew4thesoul #mindfulness #slowstitching #slowstitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CVaHOTVs1pc/?utm_medium=tumblr

STILL STITCHING

Having a project like the #52tagshannemade to work on has become such an enjoyable habit this year. Each week, on Friday, we get a prompt and demonstration from Anne for the next week’s challenge. Anne Brooke is an artist and teacher living in West Yorkshire, England who posts on YouTube. I don’t remember now how I found out about her, but I’m happy I did! Tag No. 11 RingsTag No. 12 Blanket…

#52tagshannemade week 15 "Tiny Scapes" is the theme and I chose a seascape although my husband said he could only tell it was a sea scene because of the seagulls! I am a bit behind and still need to do week 14 which will also feature the beach, maybe I can do better on that one! #tinyscape #seascape #mindfulness @hannemadebyanne #sew4thesoul #slowstitching #slowstitch #textilecraft #zoknitandsew #embroidery #beachesincornwall #52tagshannemade2021 https://www.instagram.com/p/CNj8RwrFu1G/?igshid=1ergtsn7mc55v

This month's prompts for the #tagroulettehannemade challenge by @hannemadebyanne are: 31. Bit of Bling 35. 3 Buttons 10. Suffolk Puffs If you don't know me, I lost my Mum in December, she had stage 4 cancer and Dementia and living in a care home. During lockdown because I couldn't visit (pre cancer diagnosis) and her dementia meant it was difficult talking on the phone I sent her weekly postcards to keep in touch. So my monthly challenge takes the form of a postcard and each one dedicated to Mum. I am also using her handkerchiefs as the background for each one and I have this month used some toppers from some hand made cards she had been given. I can't claim credit for the beautiful sewn rose which has gold thread but it came from a card her sister (My Auntie Elizabeth @lucewinder ) gave her for her 50th Wedding Anniversary. The heart is a 'bit of Bling' taken from another card, and the Suffolk puffs speak for themselves decorated with 3 vintage buttons. Happy Easter Mum! Love and Kisses as always❤️ #embroidery #52tagshannemade #sew4thesoul #mindfulsewing #mindfulness #sentimental https://www.instagram.com/p/CcKwcu-MtMK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tag 52 of the #52tagshannemadechallenge the prompt this week was 'Macrame Xmas Tree' and here is mine! As this year has 53 Fridays there may be a last tag next week for New Years Eve so watch this space! I have really enjoyed doing these little tags each week, they have got me back into hand sewing and certainly helped take my mind off the things going on around me at the moment as well as the lovely community spirit of all the other #52tagshannemade taggers 🤗 Thank you to @hannemadebyanne for this lovely project and next year I will have a go at some of the "ones you made earlier". #sewing #sew4thesoul #sew4thesoulhannemade #handsewing #slowstitching #macrame #zoknitandsew #52tagshannemade52 #mindfulsewing #mindfulness https://www.instagram.com/p/CYBcRPJMqIQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
